ACES Europe has decided about the next finalists for the European Capital of Sport award 2021. The Hague and Lisbon are the two candidates that will fight for the title in the month of November.
Riga, the capital of Latvia, was the third candidate that was outside of the Bid after the evaluation of the Bid Files delivered by the cities before the 31th of June 2017.
Now, the two finalists are preparing the Evaluation Commission visit planned for 2nd to 5th of November The Hague and 23rd to 26th November Lisbon.

ACES Europe is a non-profit association based in Brussels which assigns every year since 2001 the recognitions of European Capital, City, Community and Town of Sport. ACES Europe awards the European Capital of Sport title, an initiative that has received the recognition of the European Commission in the White Paper (Art. 50). In addition, ACES Europe is an offcial partner of the European Commission in the European Week of Sport. Both facts suppose the recognition of the work and activity of ACES Europe.
